Azure

Azure Local was mentioned in a discussion with a few other engineers, the other month. I’d never heard of it, but I could guess it had something to do with running an on-premise instance of Azure. Apparently they’re calling it ’edge computing'. There’s a list of things we don’t want migrated to Azure, when we think about it, such as security camera streaming and recording, database for the security cards, software-defined networking, internal hostname resolution, that sort of thing.

After clicking ‘Create’, select ‘Develop in portal’, and HTTP Trigger or Service Bus Trigger, depending on the type of Function App being added. Most the required information – function name, connection, queue name, etc. – can be copied from the original function’s JSON file. In Code + Test, copy the code from the old function or the Visual Studio Solution. In the Integration section, the values for Trigger, Inputs and Outputs also need to be copied over.
